More Info on Helping Coakley

I grew up in Massachusetts – with Teddy Kennedy as my Senator – and I was heartbroken when he died last fall as his life's work – reforming the health care system in America – was being negotiated in the halls of Congress. The health reform legislation that has passed the House and Senate are bills that would have made Teddy proud. Now that the final votes are coming up, we need to preserve our 60th vote on health reform and the other critical issues that face the American people.

There is a special election on January 19 (Tuesday) to fill Teddy's Senate seat, and it is urgent that we help Massachusetts recruit volunteers who will "Get Out The Vote!" Let's work together to ensure that Democrat Martha Coakley (MA Attorney General) carries on Teddy's legacy as a great progressive Senator from the Bay State.

Please help my home state, and make as many calls as you can TODAY and over the weekend. I am making calls today, please join me. With only a few days left, we need to rally our Rapid Response teams, neighborhood teams, and personally pick up the phones to make this happen.
